Dating back to the Paleolithic era, bullroarers were primitive instruments that may have been used in a long-range communication system, but also to repel away curious, non-initiated wanderers from sacred rituals. Now imagine... bullroarers humming warding noises at the mouth of a cave, some 15,000 years ago, somewhere in the south of France. Inside cave walls, Shamans gather in secret. They believe in the healing properties of hollow tones, such as those produced by sea shells or mammoth husks when hollowed and blown, or flat stones when rapped. As the Shamans discuss their findings, they play their gathered instruments all together as one and discover for the first time in history a power that can shake the world from its foundations: harmony.
This soundscape features natural recordings of bullroarers, mammoth tusk horns, lithophones and conch shell calls.
